Portal Jockey question...

tl;dr - does a toon have to be in the mission map when the AV is defeated to get credit towards the Dimensional Warder badge?

It was me (tank) and two controllers, doing the "Defeat Seige" mission. Our strategy up until that point was run to the end of map, defeat AV, click glowies, then move on to next mish.

It was my fault entirely: I had forgotten that Nightstar is usually hanging around the map entrance. I ran right by her, found Seige, did Assemble the Team (right when one of the trollers - who were still by the mish entrance said "Hey, there's Nightstar..."), we defeated Seige, clicked the glowies and got the Mish Complete message and the Blue Exit button.

We knew we still needed to take out Nightstar, so instead of leaving the mish we all ran back to entrance to take her out.

Again, it was entirely my fault: a tank running thru mobs attracts a lot of attention and by the time I arrived at mish entrance, we had a lot of company. Team wipe.

Luckily, most of the aggroed mobs wandered away back to their spawn point after a few minutes. But Nightstar and a few minions were still hanging around watching the three of us eating the floor. After popping all of our wakees and getting planted again and again, one of the trollers "hosped" out and - since the mish was complete (defeating Nightstar is not needed for mish completion) was unable to get back into the mish.

Finally, I converted all of my remaining Insps into about three wakees and started popping them. Each time I rezzed, Nightstar killed me, but her knockback pushed me further and further from her spawn point until finally I was able to rez outside of her aggro range. I then pounded her into submission (and enjoyed every minute of it, I may add).

But my question is, did the troller who left the mish after it was complete but before Nightstar was defeated get credit towards the Dimensional Warder badge when she (the troller) was not on the mish map when Nightstar was defeated? The troller did say she did not get XP or Inf when I defeated Nightstar.

Yes, just like any other defeat badge, you have to be in the same zone.

Fortunately for the controller in question, Nightstar is among the easiest Praetorians to catch on the side - there's a one-off badge mission in Ouroboros that lets you fight her up on the rooftops.


Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.
